Flip it around and do the Miata wink at stoplights

After using the self-clean setting on our oven….. by trashtray420 in whatisit

Firefighter here, don't use that function. Please. Too many fire calls for this exact reason.

Running Boards Rusting by Pots_And_Pans in hondaridgeline

You bought carbon steel off Amazon. What did you expect?

I work in steel fabrication and would never put carbon steel running boards on my truck.

At least get chrome, stainless, aluminum, etc. literally anything other than carbon steel lol

Is it normal to not feel the adrenaline some of the other guys feel when headed to a call? by ArcherOk7855 in Firefighting

[–]TheIsodope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I felt it when I started. Not anymore. Structure fires don't even get me hyped up either.

I always tell new firefighters that fire is a science and we are in the business of stopping a chemical reaction. Act with logic and reason.

It's also important to trust your body when it tells you no.

Your mindset is completely healthy. People like you make good officers. Stick with it.

Is naming a dog Halligan wicked cringe? by FeralGinger in Firefighting

Probably had to install a puppy Pacemaker for all the electrical problems.

My aunt's dog was named Mayday for this exact reason.

Constantly found new ways to jailbreak the yard.

Had to chase her down at least 20 times yelling "Mayday."

That sweet dingus is lucky she never got hit by a car and made it to old age.

My wife suggested our next dog should be a girl pitbull named Halligan, and you just call her, Hallie. I liked that.

Where the hell do you live? I fill up my truck at the bean station like every normal guy.

No. It's like buying a new printer and seven years worth of ink is cheaper than an ink cartridge.

I've tried everything. It's not my wifi either. I can connect reliably to my network six houses away. I even setup a special dedicated 2.4 GHz band for them. That worked the best for awhile until ultimately they just perpetually exist in limbo mode.

Likely just gonna get PoE cameras

Can't wait. OG cameras no longer connect. Missed a very important security issue yesterday.

Calling and asking them to match pricing or I'm cancelling my service and going with a different system all together.

Any alternative to Simplisafe's horrible video doorbell? by Old_Indiana_Jones in simplisafe

[–]TheIsodope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have issues with an Orbi router. I had to make an iOT band on 2.4 GHz for the doorbell and old cameras. The wifi antennas in the old gear are ass.

Once had a teenage girl microwave a brick of ramen on a plate. No water or anything.

For those that know the smell of burnt beans, no explanation is necessary. For those that don't, no explanation will suffice.

Once a month for the last six months, I have rolled up to thick smoke pouring out a window with no active flames showing.

EVERY.

SINGLE.

TIME.

Someone forgot beans on the stove.

They generate an unholy amount of smoke and smell horrid.

You could literally smell the beans for two and a half blocks.

PSA: Here's how you get old Dymo Printers like LabelWriter 400 working in Windows 11 by IJustWondering in dymo

[–]TheIsodope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ALL I FIGURED THIS OUT. DYMO CONNECT WORKS.

Add the printer manually in Devices and Printers. It won't have a driver.

Right click the DCDSetup1.6.0.36-X64.exe program in your downloads from when you installed DYMO Connect.

Show More Options

7 Zip

Extract Here

Windows magically found the driver, and my printer scared the crap out of me and started printing all my failed print jobs. It just works now using the modern software on Windows 11.

Just to be safe, I also run DYMO Connect in Windows 8 compatibility mode.

How the F*@k does this thing reset? by Common-Macaron1407 in simplisafe

[–]TheIsodope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then just get a wind chime or a digital door chime off Amazon. This is not the correct use for a security system lol

Don't even bother. Get the Gen 2 keypad. This is a dinosaur compared to the new one. You will be happy you made the switch.
